He didn't write it quite like that, and in another mail mangling program
it was displayed as:

                                     Log:

Hopefully this doesn't get demangled (the original had about 1 line after
"Log:".  This was mangled to 2 lines when it got to my editor, with
quotes broken but some still present, but in my bad mail program it
was displayed in 18 lines with 1 word per line, and with quotes completely
broken.

Good for small screens, but even I don't want formatting for 10-column
terminals.

This is the worst I've seen in mail.  Normally the bugs go the other
way, with lines joined and different bad mail programs displaying them
differently.

In usenet lately, Gurgle goops has been mangling the line feeds much
more, usually by doubling them on every followup, so their number is
exponential in the number of followups.
